Wine by the River setting up at Riverbend Park

Took a little spin last night down to Riverbend Park, where Partners in Care is setting up for their Wine by the River event, which starts tomorrow, 8/14 from 1-9pm (Saturday from noon-8pm). It's just lovely. What a great spot for an event, and I think a brilliant piece of urban planning. Whatever controversy there was (I have no idea; usually have my nose to the grindstone and miss some of this stuff) should dissipate the first time you walk along its paths or put your kayak into the river. It's really pretty: they did a great job.

So excited for this first event there: the tents are huge (lots of wineries, restaurants, vendors coming) and the whole setup is looking really good. There's plenty of parking and the weather will be perfect for wine tasting (even if we get a spot of rain, you'll be protected under the tents). My only regret: we'll be working our Pomegranate booth and will hopefully be too busy to do any wine tasting ourselves. Well, I hope we get to have a teeeeny taste of something...

Go to www.winebytheriver.com for info and tickets (mostly tax-deductible I believe, since this is a fund-raiser). See you there!
